- My training started many a year ago when in high school and had to always fix up my guy friends who either fell down drunk (yea, that smarts) or decided they were the toughest guy around (yea, even smarts more when you arn't). For years did what made everyone else happy and finally said f*ck all that, it's time for me. I've never been happier and now make great money (which is really good when you love to shop!! lol ) I've never loved a job so much and the rewards are just something that really make me glad to be doing what I'm doing. I've only been in the business for 12 years but they truely have been the most 12 rewarding years of my life. I thank GOD above for giving me the strength to do it and my family for putting up with my crazy ass schedule.
- About Me:
- Brown hair, brown eyed girl who is fun, hard working, likes to be with her friends but also loves her down time. At times can have a bit of a temper but it comes from my "mutt" mixing (German, Irish, Cherokee and Dutch) so try not to piss me off! I love my kids, they are soooo amazing and make life easier to smile at on rough days. Love my big dog Dweezil and my great dane Scooby (what's not to love about a 100+ pound black lab and a dane who's gonna grow to 240lbs!). Hate to fight, love to love. Don't play mind games and don't play with people who do. Great friend to have, horrible enemy to have. Very much into upfront people.
- Relationship Status:
- Single
- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- To do what I do best.....help others. I mean if you can't fix stupid then you can at least help "it" get up....lol. I've always been the girl who took care of others so why not get paid for it right? And where else can I see men in uniform everyday??.....I'm a sucker for it!! ;-)
- Why I Love Fire/EMS
- The close bonds shared within the EMS field.....it's like having a whole extra family without the nagging mother-in-law!! lol
- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- I work for an amazing district who pays us well and our benefits rock but I see so many others who are NOT paid for what they are worth and I know this isn't about money but for those FF's and medics who go out there day in and day out, they deserve the pay for the lives and homes/businesses they save everyday!!!
